Very good point. You are correct that there are different ways to define "need". I'm specifically thinking about the misconceptions around public wi-fi and account security.
There are some serious problems with this article, but the main point is right: Some personal VPN products falsely claim, or imply, that using their products will solve the online privacy problem. It's just not true.
